 The red rose recalls his mother Rosa and the bishop's home parish of Our Lady of the Rosary in Jersey City where he first was taught the faith. <br>

-The crescent moon is taken from the Arms of the [[Archdiocese of Newark]] for whose service Bishop Donato was ordained a priest in 1965. The crescent moon, a heavenly object having no light of its own, is an ancient symbol of the Blessed Virgin Mary, who reflects the grace of God poured into her life. Its use here also recalls Mary as the patroness of the Archdiocese and the Immaculate Conception Seminary where Bishop Donato studied and has most recently served as Spiritual Director.

 The two lower symbols of the shield look both to the priestly ministry and to the episcopal ministry of the future. The shepherd's crook stands for the bishop's charge to be a good shepherd, caring for his sheep after the heart and mind of Jesus. It also refers to the many years of pastoral ministry which Bishop Donato enjoyed since his priestly ordination. <br>
